Mac dev books

Seems after the initial "Cocoa" boom, the market for Mac books has been quiet. Of course this might be that the current books are doing a good job (ie. Aaron's book.) I stumbled upon this book today though....

Anybody remember this? Chapters written by Ingemar Ragnemalm and John Calhoun, interviews with Bungie... If only someone were willing to get the community to write the chapters for an equivalent today... It'd be dreamy.

As far as general Mac programming goes, I just did a quick Amazon query. O'Reilly has this Cocoa book, and then there's this Carbon "black book".

I also just looked up the Black Book for interest. The link above goes to Amazon US (with its strage paid for ads suggesting you may want to visit Dell for a computer if you are interested in this book!) and says it is not published.

However I then went to my local Amazon store (Amazon UK) and found that the book was released on September 30 2001 and can be bought (without the Dell ads )

It's in my library, next to Szymczyk's book Mac Game Programming. Ironically, I haven't yet made any games with animation and stuff.

I'd like to make an arcade game in the style of Mars Rising, but with more explosions and manga themed.
